Description
When print journalism arrived within the Pacific Northwest with the primary European settlers, it quickly become a potent force. From the early efforts by entrepreneurial pioneer businessmen to make use of newspapers as promotional tools to the more balanced reporting of the mid-twentieth century, journalism within the Pacific Northwest has described the citizenry and assisted in shaping its opinions. On this invaluable reference work, Floyd McKay embraces the numerous facets of journalism history in Oregon and Washington by bearing in mind both mainstream media and specialized publications, such as the ones devoted to Native American, ethnic, and immigrant communities and the feminist and suffrage press. Organized both chronologically and regionally, Reporting the Pacific Northwest provides the primary comprehensive annotated bibliography of this subject for general reference use and for the examine of journalism history.
